Why Customize Department Layouts?
Every production is different. A music video might have a massive styling department but no construction. A commercial might combine Grip and Electric while a feature keeps them separate. G-Casper Pro lets you organize departments the way your production actually works.
Reordering Departments
Department order on your call sheet back affects how easily crew can find themselves. To reorder:
- Go to Production Settings > Departments
- Drag departments up or down to reorder them
- Changes apply immediately to all call sheets
- The new order appears on both screen and printed call sheets
Standard Department Order
G-Casper Pro starts with an industry-standard order, but you can modify it freely:
| Default Position | Department |
|---|---|
| 1 | Production |
| 2 | Director's Team / ADs |
| 3 | Script / Continuity |
| 4 | Camera |
| 5 | Sound |
| 6 | Grip |
| 7 | Electric |
| 8 | Art |
| 9 | Set Decoration |
| 10 | Props |
| 11 | Construction |
| 12 | Paint |
| 13 | Greens |
| 14 | Hair |
| 15 | Makeup |
| 16 | Wardrobe |
| 17 | Locations |
| 18 | Transportation |
| 19 | Catering/Craft Services |
| 20 | Medic/Safety |
Creating Custom Departments
Need a department that doesn't exist in the defaults? Create your own:
- Go to Production Settings > Departments
- Click 'Add Custom Department'
- Enter the department name
- Position it in your preferred order
- Add crew members to your new department
Adding Custom Columns
Beyond the standard columns (Name, Position, Call Time, Phone), you can add custom columns to capture additional information:
| Custom Column Ideas | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Union Local | For productions with union reporting requirements |
| Rate | To display negotiated rates (UPM/coordinator access only) |
| Vehicle | Which vehicle they're driving or assigned to |
| Walkie Channel | Their assigned walkie frequency |
| Notes | Special instructions or dietary restrictions |
Hiding Departments from Call Sheets
Mark a department as 'Internal Only' to hide it from printed and distributed call sheets while keeping it visible in your production management views.
